I never did see the televised report or summary on CNN, but am enjoying the feedback here.

Never give up

The speaker mentioned that you could see both arm and head movement but didn’t point that out in the video. To me that would be better evidence than smudge marks on a window.

@flame821: There weren’t that many people in attendance, maybe thirty. Actual press seemed maybe eight the most. The rest I’m not sure of. I was invited as I have a site that deals with paranormal topics and urban legends in the Fresno area. I brought my best friend along as he knows more on Bigfoot than I do (he actually asked a few questions). I know the local media ran something that night, but after that it’s been quiet. I don’t know if you saw this on the stream or not, but about twenty minutes before the conference was over one of the camera guys walked up to the table and removed his microphone. As he was walking back he had a smirk on his face, almost like he had had enough. But that’s just my observation.

@mandors: I understand what you are saying but my reason for “picking apart” their presentation is that they called a press conference in the first place and weren’t prepared. Who does that? When I used to be a ghost investigator, I never called a press conference, yet this group felt with the evidence they had one was warranted. Or that was the impression that I got from the press release I was sent. Only when we got there, was the true purpose to ask for money. If they had a lab and a price lined up I would have been fine, but to ask for money without knowing how much they need seems silly.

Not really sure it’s a good idea to base one’s knowledge of DNA from TV shows (I’m assuming that’s what you are saying, if not I apologize). Granted I know little in the field, but when I did take a criminology class once, I was told you want to preserve any scene with evidence as close to the original as possible. Driving it down a mountain kinda ruins that.

Let me preface this again, as I’ve been accused elsewhere of being too hard on the group. My reason is that they called a press conference claiming to have evidence to prove Bigfoot, even to go as far as saying it was the best piece since the Patterson film. The fact they weren’t even 100% certain they had DNA, a lab or a price lined up is what made me question the purpose of a press conference to begin with. They were 100% sincere in what they said and I don’t think they are hoaxing one bit. And I give them credit for actually going out there and trying to find the creature. I just hope next time they call a press conference they are better prepared.

Picking apart their amateurish presentation was kind of petty, and does not address the veracity of their claims. In terms of the DNA evidence, I think we’ve all been inundated with enough CSI shows to know that if there is DNA a two hour open air drive is not going to hurt it.

What I’d like to know is what did the video of the supposed bigfoot figure look like in person? I didn’t see any “arm movement” in the online version of the press conference. Did you?

I am curious as to how many press were actually in attendance? (I was pleasantly surprised by some of the press’s questions) Do you think any of the SPS have either contacted or been contacted by anyone willing to do the DNA sequencing at this point?

I haven’t seen any press coverage on this story since the press conference previews (save on crypto sites) but its not unusual for main stream media to move onto the next distraction with no follow up to last week’s hot topic. Is it different closer to ground zero? Are your local news and papers following up on anything?
